Johnson, the Atlantic 10's sixth-man of the year, averaged 10.6 and led VCU's regulars with 39.5 percent shooting beyond the 3-point arc. The Rams survived after Johnson suffered an injury in the first half versus GW, but they fell to Saint Joseph's in the A-10 championship game.

The announcement came VCU athletic department's Twitter account. In a subsequent tweet regarding a question posed about Johnson's status for any future games, VCU responded, "Don't know yet. We'll see how this week goes." He reportedly had an MRI exam on Monday.

VCU will play in its fourth straight NCAA Tournament. The Rams have won at least one game in their previous three appearances.
